Kinematic Equations Flashcards
1
Q
Missing accelerations, how much has something been displaced?
A
d = Vavg * t
2
Q
What is my change in velocity or what is acceleration when given the start and end velocities? Missing displacement
A
vfinal = vinitial + at
OR
Δv = at
3
Q
what is my displacement when I don’t know my final velocity?
A
d = vinitial * t + 1/2 at^2
4
Q
How fast am I accelerating (if my displacement is given) or how far did I move (if my acceleration is given) and I know my change in velocity?
A
V final ^2 = V initial ^2 + 2a Δx
5
Q
Freefall equations
A
all your kinematic equations, with y in place of displacement, g in place of acceleration, and 0 in place of initial velocity, b/c your initial velocity in free fall will always be 0
